Command Syntax

A command is one or more words that might be followed by one or more parameters.
Parameters can be required or optional values. Some commands, such as show network or clear vlan, do not require parameters.
Other commands, such as network parms, require that you supply a value after the command. You must type the parameter values in a specific order, and optional parameters follow required parameters. The following example describes the network parms command syntax:
Format network parms <ipaddr> <netmask> [gateway]
network parms is the command name.
<ipaddr> and <netmask> are parameters and represent required values that you
must enter after you type the command keywords.
[gateway] is an optional parameter, so you are not required to enter a value in place of
the parameter.
The New Template User Manual lists each command by the command name and provides a
brief description of the command. Each command reference also contains the following information:
Format shows the command keywords and the required and optional parameters.
Mode identifies the command mode you must be in to access the command.
Default shows the default value, if any, of a configurable setting on the device.
The show commands also contain a description of the information that the command shows.

Command Conventions

In this document, the command name is in bold font. Parameters are in italic font. Y ou must replace the parameter name with an appropriate value, which might be a name or number. Parameters are order-dependent.

Common Parameter Values

Parameter values might be names (strings) or numbers. To use spaces as part of a name parameter, enclose the name value in double quotes. For example, the expression “System Name with Spaces” forces the system to accept the spaces. Empty strings (““) are not valid user-defined strings. Table 2 describes common parameter values and value formatting.
Table 2. Parameter Descriptions
Parameter Description
ipaddr This parameter is a valid IP address. You can enter the IP address in the following formats:
a (32 bits) a.b (8.24 bits) a.b.c (8.8.16 bits) a.b.c.d (8.8.8.8)
In addition to these formats, the CLI accepts decimal, hexadecimal, and octal formats through the following input formats (where n is any valid hexadecimal, octal, or decimal number):
0xn (CLI assumes hexadecimal format) 0n (CLI assumes octal format with leading zeros) n (CLI assumes decimal format)

Table 2. Parameter Descriptions (Continued)
Parameter Description
Logical Interface Represents a logical slot and port number. This is applicable in the case of a port-channel
(LAG). You can use the logical slot/port to configure the port-channel.
Character strings Use double quotation marks to identify character strings, for example, “System Name with
Spaces”. An empty string (“”) is not valid.

Slot/Port Naming Convention

Managed switch software references physical entities such as cards and ports by using a slot/port naming convention. The software also uses this convention to identify certain logical entities, such as Port-Channel interfaces.
The slot number has two uses. In the case of physical ports, it identifies the card containing
the ports. In the case of logical and CPU ports it also identifies the type of interface or port.
Table 3. Type of Slots
Slot Type Description
Physical slot numbers Physical slot numbers begin with zero, and are allocated up to the maximum
number of physical slots.
Logical slot numbers Logical slots immediately follow physical slots and identify port-channel (LAG) or
router interfaces.
CPU slot numbers The CPU slots immediately follow the logical slots.
The port identifies the specific physical port or logical interface being managed on a given
slot.
Table 4. Type of Ports
Port Type Description
Physical Ports The physical ports for each slot are numbered sequentially starting from zero. Logical Interfaces Port-channel or link aggregation group (LAG) interfaces are logical interfaces that
are only used for bridging functions. VLAN routing interfaces are only used for routing functions. Loopback interfaces are logical interfaces that are always up. Tunnel interfaces are logical point-to-point links that carry encapsulated packets.
CPU ports CPU ports are handled by the driver as one or more physical entities located on
physical slots.
Using the Command-Line Interface
11
ProSafe M4100 and M7100 Managed Switches
Note: In the CLI, loopback and tunnel interfaces do not use the slot/port
format. To specify a loopback interface, you use the loopback ID. To specify a tunnel interface, you use the tunnel ID.

Using a Command’s “No” Form

The no keyword is a specific form of an existing command and does not represent a new or distinct command. Almost every configuration command has a no form. In general, use the no form to reverse the action of a command or reset a value back to the default. For example, the no shutdown configuration command reverses the shutdown of an interface. Use the command without the keyword no to reenable a disabled feature or to enable a feature that is disabled by default. Only the configuration commands are available in the no form.

Managed Switch Modules

Managed switch software consists of flexible modules that can be applied in various combinations to develop advanced Layer 2/3/4+ products. The commands and command modes available on your switch depend on the installed modules. Additionally, for some show commands, the output fields might change based on the modules included in the software.
The software suite includes the following modules:
Switching (Layer 2)
Routing (Layer 3)
IPv6—IPv6 routing
Multicast
Quality of Service
Management (CLI, web UI, and SNMP)
IPv6 Management—Allows management of the device through an IPv6 through an IPv6
address without requiring the IPv6 Routing package in the system. The management address can be associated with the network port (front-panel switch ports) and a routine interface (port or VLAN).
Stacking
Not all modules are available for all platforms or software releases.

Command Modes

The CLI groups commands into modes according to the command function. Each of the command modes supports specific software commands. The commands in one mode are not available until you switch to that particular mode, except for the User EXEC mode
Using the Command-Line Interface
12
ProSafe M4100 and M7100 Managed Switches
commands. You can execute the User EXEC mode commands in the Privileged EXEC mode.
The command prompt changes in each command mode to help you identify the current
mode.
Table 5 describes the command modes and the prompts visible in that mode.
Note: The command modes available on your switch depend on the
software modules that are installed. For example, a switch that does not support BGPv4 does not have the Router BGPv4 Command Mode.

Voice VLAN Commands

This section describes the commands you use for Voice VLAN. Voice VLAN enables switch
ports to carry voice traffic with defined priority to enable separation of voice and data traffic coming onto the port. The benefits of using V oice VLAN is to ensure that the sound quality of an IP phone could be safeguarded from deteriorating when the data traffic on the port is high.
Also the inherent isolation provided by VLANs ensures that inter-VLAN traffic is under
management control and that network- attached clients cannot initiate a direct attack on voice components. QoS-based on IEEE 802.1P Class of Service (CoS) uses classification and scheduling to sent network traf uses the source MAC of the traffic traveling through the port to identify the IP phone data flow.

Protected Ports Commands

This section describes commands you use to configure and view protected ports on a switch.

Switching Commands
65
ProSafe M4100 and M7100 Managed Switches
If an interface is configured as a protected port, and you add that interface to a Port Channel or link aggregation group (LAG), the protected port status becomes operationally disabled on the interface, and the interface follows the configuration of the LAG port. However, the protected port configuration for the interface remains unchanged. Once the interface is no longer a member of a LAG, the current configuration for that interface automatically becomes effective.
switchport protected (Global Config)

Private VLAN

The Private VLANs feature separates a regular VLAN domain into two or more subdomains. Each subdomain is defined (represented) by a primary VLAN and a secondary VLAN. The primary VLAN ID is the same for all subdomains that belong to a private VLAN. The secondary VLAN ID differentiates subdomains from each other and provides Layer 2 isolation between ports of the same private VLAN. The types of VLANs within a private VLAN are as follows:
Primary VLAN—Forwards the traf
fic from the promiscuous ports to isolated ports, community ports, and other promiscuous ports in the same private VLAN. Only one primary VLAN can be configured per private VLAN. All ports within a private VLAN share primary VLAN.
Isolated VLAN—A secondary VLAN that carries traf
fic from isolated ports to promiscuous
ports. Only one isolated VLAN can be configured per private VLAN.
Community VLAN—A secondary VLAN that forwards traf
fic between ports that belong to the same community and the promiscuous ports. There can be multiple community VLANs per private VLAN.
Three types of port designations exist within a private VLAN:
Promiscuous Ports—An endpoint connected to a promiscuous port is allowed to
communicate with any endpoint within the private VLAN. Multiple promiscuous ports can be defined for a single private VLAN domain.
Isolated Ports—An endpoint connected to an isolated port is allowed to communicate with
endpoints connected to promiscuous ports only
. Endpoints connected to adjacent
isolated ports cannot communicate with each other.
Community Ports—An endpoint connected to a community port is allowed to
communicate with the endpoints within a community and with any configured promiscuous port.
The endpoints that belong to one community cannot communicate with endpoints that belong to a different community or with endpoints connected to isolated ports.
The Private VLANs can be extended across multiple switches through inter-switch/stack links that transport primary
, community, and isolated VLANs between devices.

Leave time is the time to wait after receiving an unregister request for a VLAN or a multicast group before deleting the VLAN entry . This can be considered a buffer time for another station to assert registration for the same attribute in order to maintain uninterrupted service. The leave time is 20–600 (centiseconds). The value 60 centiseconds is 0.6 seconds.

Possible values are RADIUS, Unauthenticated VLAN, or Default. When the VLAN Assigned reason is Default, it means that the VLAN was assigned to the port because the PVID of the port was that VLAN ID.
This value indicates the time for which the given session is valid. The time period in seconds is returned by the RADIUS server on authentication of the port. This value is valid for the port only when the port-control mode is not MAC-based.
This value indicates the action to be taken once the session timeout expires. Possible values are Default and Radius-Request. If the value is Default, the session is terminated and client details are cleared. If the value is Radius-Request, a reauthentication of the client is performed.

Storm-Control Commands

This section describes commands you use to configure storm-control and view storm-control configuration information. A traffic storm is a condition that occurs when incoming packets flood the LAN, which creates performance degradation in the network. The Storm-Control feature protects against this condition.
The 7000 series provides broadcast, multicast, and unicast story recovery for individual interfaces. Unicast Storm-Control protects against traf
fic whose MAC addresses are not known by the system. For broadcast, multicast, and unicast storm-control, if the rate of traffic ingressing on an interface increases beyond the configured threshold for that type, the traffic is dropped.
To configure storm-control, you will enable the feature for all interfaces or for individual interfaces, and you will set the threshold (storm-control level) beyond which the broadcast, multicast, or unicast traf
fic will be dropped. The Storm-Control feature allows you to limit the
rate of specific types of packets through the switch on a per-port, per-type, basis. Configuring a storm-control level also enables that form of storm-control. Disabling a
storm-control level (using the “no” version of the command) sets the storm-control level back to the default value and disables that form of storm-control. Using the “no” version of the “storm-control” command (not stating a “level”) disables that form of storm-control but maintains the configured “level” (to be active the next time that form of storm-control is enabled.)
Note: The actual rate of ingress traf fic required to activate storm-control is
based on the size of incoming packets and the hard-coded average packet size of 512 bytes - used to calculate a packet-per-second (pps) rate - as the forwarding-plane requires pps versus an absolute

rate kbps. For example, if the configured limit is 10%, this is converted to ~25000 pps, and this pps limit is set in forwarding plane (hardware). You get the approximate desired output when 512bytes packets are used.
storm-control broadcast
Use this command to enable broadcast storm recovery mode for a specific interface. If the mode is enabled, broadcast storm recovery is active and, if the rate of L2 broadcast traffic ingressing on an interface increases beyond the configured threshold, the traffic will be dropped. Therefore, the rate of broadcast traffic will be limited to the configured threshold.
